What is Disco?
Disco is a modern Platform as a Service (PaaS) designed for teams looking to escape the high costs and vendor lock-in of platforms like Heroku. It enables you to run applications on your own infrastructure—primarily your own AWS account—while retaining the simple git push deployment workflow that developers love. Disco offers two flexible models:
Managed Migration & Hosting: For startups and enterprises, Disco provides practical services to migrate your applications from Heroku to your own AWS account in days rather than months. This can cut hosting costs by 50-70% and gives you full ownership of the infrastructure, all managed through Disco's intuitive UI and CLI.
Self-Hosted & Open Source: For those seeking maximum control, Disco is a powerful open-source platform that you can install and run on your own servers. This delivers a completely free, self-hosted PaaS with no vendor lock-in, ideal for deploying projects with total freedom and flexibility.
